More about this item

Based off vintage Nick's boot possibly from 70s-80s, short pull loop, short back stay like on the vintage Nicks. Basically a built at home Builderpro

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Custom

I wanted to make this boot because it’s been calling to me. From all the people I’ve met and all the things I’ve learned. The people the places. Many years of peoples lives to make these logging style boots. I get misty eyed thinking about Nick making boots back in the 60’s to support his family. It’s the American dream. This boot makes that still feel possible.

How did you determine your size?

I’ve had years to try a lot of boots. I always size to the heel then to the arch and then the ball of the foot. Most will do a half size back but I prefer going to my Bran and just adding a soft leather insole. It gives me more versatility and gives more life to the built in insole.

What was the ordering process?

It was great all the materials in total were very reasonable in price but I know that’s not what this question means 😉
